It's been a while since I"ve used linux but I heard gaming has gotten a lot better. Is Ubuntu still considered good and stable? Is there a better choice of distro?

I’ve checked the other posts in this sub regarding this, and I believe I’m a step ahead of other posters who’ve run into problems.

I’m running ubuntu, I’ve pasted in the required file in rules.d as per the Dolphin set up page, and I’ve checked with lsusb that my system recognizes the device. Dolphin still isn’t detecting my adapter. I’ve confirmed the id info pasted into rules.d matches what lsusb shows.

I’ve also used the mayflash on another system to confirm its not the adapter.

Any ideas on where I’m going wrong?

I've made a launch options string that puts a bandaid over the problem, but I'd rather see it fixed.

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 LD_PRELOAD="" gamemoderun %command% & pid=$!; sleep 1; nmcli n off; sleep 7; nmcli n on; (zenity --text="Kill Genshin?" --warning) & zid=$!; while kill -0 $pid && kill -0 $zid ; do sleep 1; done; kill $zid ; pkill Program

It seems like switching networking on and off causes the program to not be able to terminate properly, but it's a necessary step since the game eats up an extra 40% of my CPU time if I don't do it.

I'm using Genshin FPS Unlock to launch the game (to unlock FPS and enable HDR without having to do wine regedit) which messes with the pkill line a little bit (from Genshin Impact.e to Program), but this problem happens without it.

EndeavourOS (Arch) and GE-Proton10-15

I've started playing modded Minecraft with someone, and I'm currently using Windows. Although. I'm thinking of going back to Linux, and I usually go back to Fedora, either KDE or Workstation. I'm just wondering if it's possible to download the Appimage for CurseForge and get it working, as well as Essential.

sooo when i was on Win11 this card easily serves me around 120fps average.

i just installed CacyOs last night and installed Dota and had a test on turbo games, and my average fps is around 27 - 30 fps average at best, especially at teamfight moment. my driver is v580 something if that helps, can someone help and explain to me why this happened ?

So my partner wants to play the steam version of ff12 but he hates the current license board and want to use a mod to change things back to the ps2 version. I've fiddled with a few options but have yet to get the mod working, tried using the windows program VBF browser to manually modify the game file to use it, acted like it worked but changed nothing. Attempted to use another program called draklab mod loader, didnt work. Attempted using Limo that didn't seem to do anything either. I haven't Attempted the older vortex install script mostly because I remember it being super buggy. My question is, has anyone successfully modded ff12 in linux and how did they accomplish it. I've a feeling ive overlooked something super simple haha.

Hello,

When I launch the game, I get the option to select my retail content. However, while it lets me browse to the pak files no problem, when I click OK, the dialog just disappears. No confirmation and the game doesn't launch. Then when I manually launch the game, it comes up with only shareware content.

Is there anything I can do? Maybe a command line option or something I can use instead? I've obviously searched around the interwebs but haven't run into anyone else having this issue.

Thanks for reading!

p.s. it's a good year if you have a Radeon 6000 series card....At some unknown point recently, my framerates went from 15 to 50 and now I'm itching to play the full game!!

Solution:
I copied the .pak files, maps.list, and the two folders, "players" & "video" from the retail baseq2 directory, to the Quake II RTX baseq2 directory. Thanks to whosdr below for the idea!

This command kills most programs and launches Steam.

I have had my pc brick a good portion of the times I close a steam game or sometimes while in the game. It will close, then 20-30 seconds later everything completely freezes including my cursor. I cant switch to other desktops are anything. I have to force shut it down using the power button.

This also happens sometimes when I do nothing, not even in a game and it will just brick. I started with Mint, did a full reinstallation with Mint, switched to Fedora and then Pop_OS briefly, before going back to Mint. The bricking problem remains through each distro install.

I have checked the 'systems reports' and it never says anything about it in the crash reports.

I have most recently tried updating my NVIDIA drivers to latest supported release, but no change.

If somebody could help me fix this I would be ever so grateful.

Hi all, as the title says, I'm strongly considering moving away from Windows entirely. However, I have a few concerns that I can't really find a solid answer to, how will my existing peripherals hold up? I'm currently using full Razer peripherals, I'm not really a die hard Razer fan, my peripherals have just become Razer ones over the past few years for some reason. Specifically, I'm using a Blackwidow V3 Tenkeyless keyboard, Viper V3 pro mouse & a Blackshark V2 Pro (wireless) headset. I know there's no official synapse support on Linux for Razer products and I've seen OpenRazer, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience using Razer products on Windows and then using them on Linux (especially the wireless blackshark v2 pro's), was it much different at all? Thanks

So I am still new to using linux and I have no idea about any of this stuff like repositories or something cause I'm too dumb. I've been trying to play a few games from steam but gave up. However, I found Minecraft available from the built-in Software Manager, so I downloaded it. I created a new microsoft account and tried to login, but I've been stuck on this screen with this Xbox pop up on the side for 20 minutes. Did I miss a step? Do I need this Prism Launcher a few people said to get, even though Minecraft was available in the Software Manager?

I was having various issues on Windows lately (WoW would freeze for 3 seconds or so sometimes, alt tabbing would take a while and make the program not respond, scrolling in Discord was sluggish, typing in the search bar in chrome was slow). I have a 5090 and 9800x3d so I have an expectation of decent performance.

I decided to create a 200GB partition and install CachyOS and installed WoW using steam (I know some people recommend Lutris because steam makes the folder layout weird). Everything is running so smoothly right now and i have had zero crashes or issues.

I was able to directly copy and paste my WTF and Interface folders from the windows partition to my Linux WoW folder. Everything was set up and good to go within minutes which really surprised me. I felt sure I would run into crashes or other headaches but it has been over a week with no incidents.

(Also I was able to install my normal work environment which I generally use a Macbook pro for… can I suddenly game and work on a single machine with more RAM and a hefty GPU? It completely has wiped out any desire for the Mac Studio which was on my mind for work and playing)
